The following deal mainly with household problems, but Just think of
your kayak as a Hobbit house and treat the problem accordingly.

|I have a foldable kayak with a interior wood frame. Having left water
| in the boat for too long, a number of pieces have what looks like
| mildew stain and some minor rotting. The integrity of the pieces are
| fine and I am not concerned with the aesthetics. I would like to
| refinish the pieces with spar varnish but I am wondering if I need
to
| get the mildew stains out and how to do that. A light sanding
smooths
| out the pot marks but doesn't get the stains out. Any suggestions??
